Welcome
Getting Started
This guide provides an overview and describes the tasks to get you started with HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs).
Testing methodology
By following four basic guidelines, you can incorporate HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) into your testing methodology. These guidelines drive efficient and expedient integration testing, and they can be applied to your testing process and infrastructure requirements.
Test approach
The HCL DevOps Test Workbench (Test Workbench) product suite fits easily into a V-Model approach. The classic V-Model demonstrates each phase in predevelopment and its associated phase in test planning. For example, when the system design is delivered, begin planning for system testing. Testing activities such as design, analysis, planning and execution must happen throughout the entire project life cycle.

Release Notes
This document includes information about the new features introduced, features deprecated or removed, defects fixed, and known issues identified in this version of HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs). You can also find the installation and upgrade instructions along with the contact information of HCL Customer Support.
System requirements
This document includes information about hardware and software requirements for HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) 2024.03 (11.0.1).
Getting Started
This guide provides an overview and describes the tasks to get you started with HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs).
- Overview of DevOps Test Integrations and APIs
  You can use HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to create, modify, and run service tests.
- Testing methodology
  By following four basic guidelines, you can incorporate HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) into your testing methodology. These guidelines drive efficient and expedient integration testing, and they can be applied to your testing process and infrastructure requirements.
  - Test approach
    The HCL DevOps Test Workbench (Test Workbench) product suite fits easily into a V-Model approach. The classic V-Model demonstrates each phase in predevelopment and its associated phase in test planning. For example, when the system design is delivered, begin planning for system testing. Testing activities such as design, analysis, planning and execution must happen throughout the entire project life cycle.
  - Test phases
    Apart from being used for driving early test plans, HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) can be used to shift testing earlier in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) than is traditionally possible with standard test tools that test at the UI level. Soon after you have a local build, you can use Test Integrations and APIs to do service unit testing.
  - Building tests
    HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) separates the task of learning about the system from the tasks of creating test resources, designing (building models), creating and recording test assets, and running tests.
  - Project structure
    When an HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) project is created for the first time, the project folder structure is created on a disk.
- Service-oriented architecture (SOA) testing
  A SOA consists of business processes that are implemented by linking individual services. The linking can be done programmatically or with tools based on Business Process Execution Language (BPEL). SOA testing can be challenging because there is no GUI; the focus is on testing interfaces and services.
- Getting started with testing in DevOps Test Integrations and APIs
  You can start using HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) by completing the preliminary tasks such as creating and running a test, creating and running a stub, recording an HTTP proxy, and running a stub in a Docker container.
- DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel overview
  HCL DevOps Test Virtualization (Test Virtualization) stubs that are designed in HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) are published to HCL DevOps Test Virtualization Control Panel (Test Virtualization Control Panel), which holds them in a repository.
- DevOps Test Integrations and APIs accessibility features
  Users who have a physical disability, such as limited vision, can review the available accessibility features to use HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs).

Testing activities such as design, analysis, planning and execution must happen throughout the entire project life cycle.

During the system design phase, integration architects can make design-time assets available, such as a WSDL document or an XSD. These assets can be synchronized with HCL DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs) to enable early visibility of testing complexity and scope. This process is an essential part in planning your integration testing effectively and provides early visibility of complexity and risk. V-model
